With so many of the regulars being turned down this year for differing reasons, bike homologation etc, and there are so many places being given to new commers who may only ride one year just because its the centenary. How many riders do you think they will get next year. I am sure that alot of riders will be peeved off about being rejected and just say 'why should I bother next year'.

What is the risks of such a high number of New commers, especially after all the hoo haa of last year when there were calls for people to do the Manx first......

Lets just hope they haven't shot themselves in the foot. And it won't matter how much cash or contracts you have in the bag for this year, if it all goes wrong next year they will pull out faster than you can say themilkmanshorseisdeadanditsnamewasschlumberger.

Just a thought? any others thinking next year will see a dreamatic drop in entries?
